Well, this week was my birthday week...which turned out to be quite nice! I always enjoy birthdays! The only bummer was I am on a diet, weight watchers, and couldn't have cake, but oh well, when given the choice of staying on track or getting off I chose to stay on the dieting track.
When I woke up on the 20th I suddenly realized.....THIS IS THE LAST YEAR I WILL BE IN MY 40's. Yikes...Double Yikes!!! Not to say yikes because I am upset about my age, because honestly it doesn't bother me, but yikes because I have a lot of things left on my list of things to do! I need to get my act together!
My birthday did however prompt the opportunity to reflect on the positive things I have in my life. While reflecting I came to the conclusion that I could honestly be approaching the greatest decade of my life. I feel great...no aches or pains...and what a blessing that is! I am physically fit and quite honestly can keep up with a lot of the 25 and 30 year olds at the gym...here's patting myself on the back and giving thanks for this blessing.
Did I mention GRANDCHILDREN? My second granddaughter is due to be born this week...and what a joy she will be in my life...just like her sister. Here's a picture of my firstborn granddaughter...just so you can see my pleasure and joy!
Brooklyn called me on my birthday and wished me happy birthday and even sang to me. Now....is that a joy or what! I didn't need anything else after that! My birthday was complete...even though the cute card she colored on for me...made my heart melt!
I could set and write a 20 page blog on the blessings I have and the blessings that will be coming my way...but I won't bore you to tears...I will simply end by saying....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME....LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!
